Alloy in Gold and Silver
Reading Time: < 1 minute
- If the gold or silver in your possession is not pure, that is, it is not 100% pure gold or silver, it has some other metal/s mixed to it, such as lead, then the quantity will be the determinant.
- If the quantity of the silver or gold is more than the alloy, the object will be considered to be gold or silver.
- Now if this item weighs so much which makes Zakaat waajib, then its Zakaat will be obligatory.
- If, however, the quantity of the other metal is more, then the object will not be considered to be gold or silver.
- In this case, the item will be just like any other copper, iron, steel or tin object. Zakaat of gold or silver will not be its ruling.
